| The '''Union of Frigia, Vulcania, and Koralia''', known in short as Frigia to outsiders (due to the way first contact was initiated), is a unitary state located southwest of Eura, and east of Tapfer. Bordering Athlon off its east coast Etourney to the northeast, and the [[Imperial Federation]] on its northwest coast, Fridgia is a volcanically active island that, were it not for its volcanic activity, would be entirely frozen.

|
| Instead, the island's interior is warm, with the island's central caldera island containing the largest city in the country, named Vulcania. Most of the island is taken up by three provinces. Frigia occupies most of the western portion of the island, as well as much of the north. Koralia is found to the east, and holds the most ice-bound territory of the island. Vulcania's three districts form the country's interior, serving as a capital for the country's two halves.

| The island country is nominally a protectorate of the [[Imperial Federation]], which holds the islands of Lesser Frigia, but the otherwise isolated country nonetheless enjoys independence in foreign policy. Only the interior is heavily populated, although the country has various port towns on the coast used to export exotic polar products, rare minerals, and in turn import foodstuffs and crops found elsewhere on Micras.

| The island has a population of some 2 million people, most of which live in the interior districts. The island country has a tiny coast guard, a small but well-equipped ground self-defense force, and a small but outdated air force. Some flying dragonoid creatures call the islands home, but only the polar native tribes tame the creatures for hunting and transport, with the creatures avoiding the warmer interior parts of the country for reasons unknown.

| | |
| The country peacefully unified in the years leading to {{AN year|1715}}, through a long and quiet process. The country is led by King Sozin III, a formerly tribal leader who lived in Vulcania as the region's paramount chief for many years. The quiet country is known for the contrast of its hot springs in the interior, and harsh polar climate near most of its coastline, which remains nearly uninhabited save for the sparse natives and their exotic-looking flying mounts.

| During the summer the country is a paradise for vacationers, although during the winter there are some parts of the country still hospitable for tourists to visit, if they're willing to brave the ice to get into the deep interior.

| == Government ==
| |
| | |
| Frigia is led by a King, who in turn leads the country's unicameral Parliament. The Parliament consists of fifty representatives apportioned by population from those districts comprising Frigia, Vulcania, and Koralia. As Vulcania is the most populous in the country by far, its representatives are capped at half the Parliament, with the caveat that the King would always be a Vulcanian.
| |
| | |
| The Cabinet comprises a total of fifteen officials chosen by the Prime Minister, with approval from Parliament and given with the King's assent, as with all measures, according to the country's constitution.
| |
| | |
| Other than being able to veto legislation and appointments, the king's job is mostly religious, although post-unification he is supposed to weigh on political matters during rare times of gridlock in the country's parliament. The current king Sozin III, jokingly named the "Ice King" by foreign leaders, has nonetheless become a respected figure in the country due to his moderate stance in dealing with even the most contentious issues. The country's religious capital is on the island of South Frigia in the town of Agni-Qai, where the king journeys every winter for a ceremony of renewal and holds a special session of parliament.
